I am going to sit there and watch Michael Phelps break my record anonymously? That's almost demeaning to me. It is not almost - it is.

I walked away from the sport for 17 years, then started swimming again recently in a master's program.

The pool is terrible, but that doesn't have much to do with my record swims. That's all mental attitude.

Past performance speaks a tremendous amount about one's ability and likelihood for success.

I wasn't able to lower my cholesterol so they put me on a statin drug. It is called lipitor. I was able to lower my level in about 30 days from above 300 to below 200.

I am not qualified to talk about the diet. Simply because I am not a dietician.

I went through a lifestyle change when I dropped 40 pounds. Taking care of my diet was the first thing I did.
